Thanks Pin. Going in to a meeting. Can just come back here and see what I missed. Instead of going through a bunch of Twitter messages.
 
So we have someone at each weight right? What places score points? How many places do we need to win it do you think?
 
So we have someone at each weight right? [Yes.]


What places score points?

[Top 8 place winners score placement points for the team (1st place gets 16 points with scores falling down to 3 points for 8th place). Note that any wrestler can score points via simply winning a match (called advancement points) and for scoring bonus points (for pins, tech falls, or major decisions). If Iowa wins, every point will be critical. See more good info here: http://www.blackheartgoldpants.com/2011/2/22/2006497/idiots-guide-to-college-wrestling-tournament-scoring ]




How many places do we need to win it do you think?

[No way to answer this really. Basically, if Iowa wins, we need to have an outstanding tournament and hope PSU go sideways a bit. PSU has a couple studs that roll up bonus points at an amazing clip and that are lead pipe locks to win titles or place extremely high (barring injuries). Iowa has 4 guys that somewhat reasonably could win titles. The chances of all four wrestling to that level at the same time is virtually nil though, and there's a decent a couple of them crap out and don't even place. Iowa's best reasonable hope is to get contributions from everyone on the team, win a couple individual titles, and hope PSU underperforms. We have a punchers chance, but that's it.]
